Nothing personal against anyone here on the free list, in KARC or on
"94"... But...
My in the house radios are staying off until some time in May...
Period. I hope you understand, and realize, why.
I am turning on the radio in the mobile when I am in it.
That said; If someone comes up with a way to do ASL or LSQ (American
Sign Language or Quebec Sign Language) on 2m please clue me in!
